It'll never happen

But I've heard whispers of people who can freely manipulate their dreams and experience it.

... what, you thought I was talking about the patch?

Our closed beta goes on, and most of the team has either already reached the middle point of the main story, or is close to doing so. Except Blazer. Remind me why he's still in the team? Oh yeah, we need him to fix the crashes we find.

Vincent will be the one to post the patch, so don't get too excited unless you see a blonde Falcom girl at the top of a news post. But it really should happen before our fabled 11/27, unless we run into serious issues.

They are the heroes the internet deserves, but not the ones it needs right now. So we'll pester them, because they can take it. Because they're not our heroes. They're the silent translators. The watchful beta checkers. The Heroes of Shadow.

Hm... Serenes Forest doesn't list any of the other Fire Emblem patches as 100% complete... 4 is only 90%, and you did say you like that one, TheEnd...Nah, I'm kidding. But not really. Someone ought to mop that up at some point. If only I spoke Japanese...

Oh, wow, that project's ongoing? I could have sworn it was abandoned a few years back... DarkTwilkitri's page is last dated in 2006, but SF has a forum post from... May. Hm, well, that's really recent by internet standards. Guess that's that then....Darn, I'd hoped I'd found a way to keep the team together for something. Happy feelings gone...

Okay everyone, I'll give you a reason why a thorough Beta is a GOOD THING. Anyone here played the TRS patch? Well, late in the game, you get to Morse Tower. At the top, you have to talk to an NPC to progress. She gives you three options.

All of them freeze the game.

The only solution found was to remove the patch completley, play past that part in Japanese, then re-apply the patch.

Needless to say, we do NOT want that happening with this. Keep up the good work guys.

To sum up: First 8 chapters: Amazing, almost proffesional localisation quality. Chapter 10 on quality takes a massive nosedive, but it's still readable. After chapter 30 the game becomes a hilarious Engrish-fest.

It seems they just decided to release the patch incomplete because everyone kept nagging them about it. (hint hint)
